Christina, amazing Christina!
I know so few people with the ability to re-live thoroughly memories in a way delicious enough to make pain worth the putting-up-with. You must have a secret gear that kicks in like in the old Hudson. You love life,
completely embracing it, and maybe that lets you accept these results of the demanding travel, too.
I hate to think of you in so much pain ... but it delights me to know you have all those memories to wrap yourself in
and you're back with your dog!!
